Zia Youth Soccer has a volunteer-based discount system for its seasonal programs.  

1.  GET A FREE SEASON!  Each team is generally led by a single HEAD COACH, with the support of one or more assistant coaches.  Head coaches will have the league registration and associated credit card processing fees fully waived for one of their participating youth household members per team led, at the time of registration

2.  GET A $25 DISCOUNT!  Each team needs at least one ASSISTANT COACH, but preferably at least two.  Although the organization is not able to fully waive registration fees for assistant coaches, those who sign up as an assistant coach will not be charged the non-volunteer fee that is otherwise added to each registration.  And should an assistant coach decide to step up into the head coach position if one is not available for their child's team, the league will fully return the registration fee for one of that volunteer's children as a benefit of the head coach position.

3.  GET 50% OFF OF A FUTURE REGISTRATION!  Zia Youth Soccer also has several administrative and general volunteer positions, including an Awards Coordinator, CABQ Parks and Recreation Blue Ribbon Committee Representative, Equipment Manager, Team Builders, and more.  At the end of the season, all volunteers in these positions will receive a discount code for 50% off of a single future player registration, as the league's way of showing its appreciate for the volunteer support. Many of these administrative and general volunteer positions remain filled from season to season, but openings do come up periodically.  When one of these positions needs to be filled, it will be posted here, and all registered families will be contacted via e-mail in order to be given the opportunity to sign up for the position. 

Current administrative volunteer position opening(s):

*Awards Coordinator*

(The Awards Coordinator is responsible for receiving the shipment of seasonal participation awards, and distributing them to the coaches as they arrive to the scrimmage field the following Saturday.  This requires spending one full Saturday at the scrimmage field in order to distribute awards to coaches throughout the day.  Please CONTACT US if you are interested in volunteering for this position.  Thank you!)

(For more details on these volunteer positions, please see the "volunteer opportunities" tab above. 
Full training is provided for all volunteers.)


*Although no experience is required to volunteer as a head coach, all volunteers are subject to seasonal approval, and fee waivers offered at the time of registration are subject to post-approval confirmation.  Head coaches who volunteered in the most recent season, and retained approval for the following season, will hold priority for open positions in the following season.  Volunteer positions are not guaranteed to be available, and volunteers may be turned down for any reason for the well-being of the organization and its participants.
